EUBA position on the JRC LCA Methodology

EUBA position on the JRC LCA Methodology

EUBA considers the LCA methodology, as presented by the JRC, not fit for the purpose of comparing bio-based with conventional fossil-based plastics. We urge the Commission to stop the wider dissemination or application of this LCA and to start a new review of the LCA methodology. Otherwise, it will adversely affect EU progress in the field of sustainable and renewable climate neutral materials.
